noon. once we get into the afternoon, the rain pretty much exits and sun comes back to finish out the day. so rainfall totals. not a lot of rain with this short duration of our cold front. less than a half of an inch expected across the region. let's check in with sue and see how we're doing on the wet roads this morning. >> pretty quiet drew, although the roads are slick as you mentioned. take a look at oakland 880 past the coliseum. yeah, no stalls or accidents along 880. knock on everything. we hope it's a holiday light and friday light as well. there's a look at your drive from hercules all the way into the city. less than 30 minutes. smooth sailing through san rafael. those tail lights headed southbound past the civic center and on into central marin. no problems across the golden gate. it's looking good overall. green is great. not even a commute out of the central valley this morning, so we are anticipating light conditions the rest of the morning. here's a look at some of your drive times and maybe fog an issue in marin, but just

some slight slowing from san rafael into the city. >> nothing major, so thank you. developing news in new orleans, where bourbon street is back open to the public this morning. as you can see with this live look at the area. just two days ago, a driver rammed a pickup truck through a crowd of people celebrating the new year. the fbi now says the suspect acted entirely on his own. they also say he rented the truck he used in the attack on december 31st, and drove from houston to new orleans. the city reopened bourbon street yesterday, just 36 hours after the attack and 30 minutes before the sugar bowl game. now, as you know, that got postponed to yesterday. the game began with a moment of silence for the 14 people killed as flowers, candles and crosses now dot the french quarter. >> man, after all this happened, coming back to bourbon street, it just have an eerie feel to it. but looking around, the tourists look happy. they just walking around and they look like they're enjoying themselves. law enforcement on every corner. so it feels safe.

>> abc news is reporting bomb making materials linked to the attack were recovered by law enforcement yesterday at the suspect's home in houston. police say he originally planned to harm his family, but decided that would not get enough attention. investigators are still trying to determine how the suspect, a u.s. born army veteran, became an isis sympathizer in the wake of that attack in new orleans. >> the san francisco police officers union is asking for the department to reinstate its partnership with the fbi joint terrorism task force. the partnership was suspended in 2017 because of pressure from civil liberties advocates. abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn has a closer look at the concern. >> it's about keeping people safe. >> the san francisco police officers association says it's time for s.f. police department to step up. the psa posted on x, quote, the sfpd should rejoin the joint terrorism task force to work with all our law enforcement partners in keeping the people who live, work and

visit san francisco safe. >> we put out the tweet because you know what happened in new orleans? nobody wants to see that happen again. >> lieutenant tracy mccray says there will be a lot of eyes on san francisco because of upcoming events like the j.p. morgan healthcare conference. >> that's going to be really huge. and after what happened in new york, with the ceo being killed in february, there's the chinese new year parade and the nba all star game. security is paramount. >> the sfpd pulled out of the joint terrorism task force in 2017 during the trump administration. sfpd faced pressure from civil liberties advocates and members of the muslim community, concerned that the fbi and pd would target undocumented immigrants and muslim residents. law enforcement leaders say pd and the fbi share information now, but that more needs to be done even though there is information that is shared with the department, it's different from actually being part of this joint effort, this task force

where we would actually have someone dedicated to being on that task force, to not have sfpd involved in it. >> as a member of it, is ludicrous. >> former fbi agent rick smith says sfpd needs to be part of the task force. >> to be safe, you need law enforcement to talk together in real time to deal with these things. >> local leaders say what happened in new orleans is a wake up call. >> we have to double down on our relationships with federal partners, like through the joint terrorism task force. i'm going to do everything i can as a member of the board of supervisors to support that. >> a san francisco police department spokesman says it's time to rethink their membership in the jttf suzanne phan. abc seven news. >> the fbi is still working to determine the motive in wednesday's. tesla cybertruck explosion in las vegas. investigators do not believe that this was connected to the

she was a paid sex worker with her own website and business operation. stubblefield said the interaction was a paid, consensual transaction. the appellate court ruling last week that the prosecution violated the racial justice act by saying in its closing argument that it didn't search stubblefield's home for a gun over concerns that it would open up a, quote, storm of controversy amid civil unrest at the time over the police killing of george floyd. >> can't hold a trial that has the fundamentals of due process, the fundamentals of fairness, the fundamentals of the constitution, and keep referring to somebody as a big black man. >> the racial justice act went into effect in 2021, just a year after his conviction. this makes it illegal to convict someone on the basis of race, ethnicity or national origin. stubblefield's attorneys are expected to be back in court here at 9:00 this

morning, and they are expected to motion to have their client released. live in san jose. lena howland, abc seven news. >> all right, lena, thank you. even with winter here, we need more snow in the coming months. that's the word from state water managers after their first snow survey of the season. yesterday, they measured the snowpack at phillips station. this is south of lake tahoe along highway 50. they found 24in of snow. it's 91% of average for this time of the season, but only 37% of what's needed by april 1st to supply the water that's needed in much of the bay area. officials say the northern part of the state has been a lot more wet this season. >> central and southern sierra, we need some help. we need above average accumulation for the remainder of the winter to really catch back up. >> so besides providing water for us to drink, the snowpack also creates runoff that keeps our forests greener in the summer months, which can help reduce wildfires. the next snow survey is set for february 3rd.

>> and amanda, this time last year, we were at just 35% of average for our snowpack. so we're doing a lot better this year. and we have more snow coming this afternoon. a winter storm warning kicks in here at 7 a.m. we are expecting about 6 to 10in above 5500ft, and a lot of this will be falling later this afternoon. so if you're thinking of traveling to tahoe, it will be slick and slow. i do anticipate this afternoon and evening, probably some sort of chain controls on 80 and 50 as the snow falls down. back here at home, a live look at owaka this morning. you can see the tarmac is wet as we track that light rain currently falling in the east bay. 52 degrees right now as that light rain falls, here's live doppler seven along with satellite. you can see our front moving on shore. not a lot of moisture. so this is not an all day affair. it's the morning that we see the showers. sunshine is actually back later on this afternoon. so here's future weather. we'll track those showers throughout the morning. here's 9 a.m. as we track a few downpours crossing the region. even by 11 a.m. we're seeing some light rain, but by noon the showers are

tapering and into the afternoon. sunshine is back. here's 3 p.m, but temperatures will feel colder compared to yesterday. about a 10 degrees drop in our daytime. highs mid to upper 50s with that afternoon sunshine coming back. so looking at the three day forecast, we have those morning showers right now. but the weekend guys really looking fantastic saturday and sunday reggie aqui love seeing that. >> thanks. drew. $1 billion company keeping its home in san francisco. but there's a catch. >> plus an update on the vision zero plan to eliminate traffic

(discouraged) so expensive. i mean, i'm helping my mom out, i don't have that kinda cash. - ugh, i know. but you can get financial help now through covered california. it's totally affordable. you'd be surprised. they've got this calculator thing that shows how much you'll pay. - for real? - yeah! what are you doing not having health insurance, man? - hey, i know, i know... - here, let me show you... - we all have questions. covered california has answers and can find a health plan that's right for you. covered california. this way to health insurance.

the time now is 614. building a better bay area is all about finding solutions. that has been the goal of san francisco's vision zero, the city's plan to eliminate traffic deaths in ten years by the end of 2024. the year is over, and the plan did not work as everyone hoped. in fact, last year, more people died on san francisco streets than any year in the past decade. 41 people, to be exact, including two dozen pedestrians. people we spoke with think the high numbers are due to the lack of law enforcement? >> there's never anybody getting caught for like, running red lights or stop signs. minor traffic violations that tend to cause pedestrian injuries. >> city officials hope new programs like speed cameras will help with the problem. advocates are calling on mayor elect daniel lurie to re-adopt the vision zero policy, as san

francisco considers a future of traffic safety. >> the city will also take a new approach to public safety overall. incoming mayor daniel lurie appointed former san francisco police officer paul yep to be the city's first chief of public safety. abc seven news spoke with yep about the job. >> what i'm super excited about is that this will be the first time that a representative from the mayor's office will be coordinating all the emergency services and public safety departments for the city of san francisco, and the coordination is important because we want it to be all on the same page and hyper focus on our priorities as needed to make the city safe. >> yep. has been part of laurie's transition team. he was a member of the san francisco police department for 28 years. >> happening today. several family members of eric and lyle menendez will meet with the newly elected l.a. county district attorney. they are pushing for the brothers to be resentenced. the prior da asked a judge to resentence the brothers, who were convicted of killing their parents. this was nearly 30 years ago. the new da

delayed the case, saying he needed time to review it. most members of the menendez family say the brothers should be released from prison. lyft is renewing the lease for its san francisco headquarters, but the rideshare company appears to be downsizing. the san francisco business times reports lyft least 170,000ft■!s at its 185 barry street location last month. lyft previously occupied 419,000ft■!s, but listed part of its offices for sublease after shifting to remote work during the pandemic. now, here's your chance to score a free chipotle for an entire year. chipotle is teaming up with san francisco based exercise app strava for their 2025 city challenge. for the next month, people in 25 cities this includes san francisco can run, bike or walk along chipotle segments using strava and log the mileage. the person who completes the most segments will get free chipotle lifestyle bowls for a year. the city with the most mileage

weekend. saturday and sunday it is sunny. we have dry conditions and the extended outlook into much of next week. we keep it rain free. so pretty dry after this morning's rain. right now we're in the upper 40s to the mid 50s as those showers fall. right now here's live doppler seven along with satellite have this initial band of some light showers working through the east bay, the peninsula into the south bay. more steady rain developing in the north bay, but again, we have these showers from now through about noon. the afternoon we see that sunshine return. it's a level one this morning for those showers. slick roads, your biggest impacts a little bit of extra time. not a bad idea this morning as the rain falls. then later on this evening we will have some rough surf along our coastline. so looking at the day planner today we have light rain early on. sunrise here at 725. showers begin to wrap up here right around noon and then into the afternoon 4 p.m. it's sunny and it's dry with temperatures mainly in the 50s for daytime highs, so it will feel cooler today compared to the mild air of yesterday. rainfall totals area wide. you can see less than

a half of an inch of rain throughout the morning heading our way. here's a look at the snowfall totals. we have that winter storm warning beginning at 7 a.m, where our highest peaks, like donner, could see about 14 or 15in of snow. lake level looks more like 2 to 4in, but this afternoon do anticipate some travel delays if you're going to tahoe. likely some chain controls in effect as well. so morning showers. afternoon sunshine. daytime highs below average will stay in the 50s all afternoon. high surf develops later on this evening as a high surf advisory begins at 9 p.m, we could see breakers in excess of 18ft, so that is dangerous swimming and surfing conditions through sunday. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. showers this morning. rough surf this evening. we're dry and we're bright for the weekend. we'll keep that dry pattern through next week, guys. >> a quarter of the price. >> all right. thank you so much, drew. now let's turn to ginger zee. she's live with a look at what's coming up on gma. >> good morning ginger. >> hey reggie. amanda great to be with you. so coming up here on gma we will start with the latest on the new orleans terror
